Does anyone think that a 6 and 7 yr old should be told where a baby comes out? If yes or no why?

I have every intention of letting my daughter know that babies come out of women's vagina's. I want her to know the proper names for everything. I used to know a little girl that called her vagina a Lou-lou... and that is what she thought it was called. I just think to create a completely body conscious person it is best to teach them all properly. There is nothing gross or wrong about giving birth. It is completely natural and I think your child should know

kater - 102 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) my daughter is 5, and very curious about the whole bay thing. i found the best what (for us) is to give her only as much information as she can understand. when she asks questions, i start with basic, true info, and usually she is satisfied with the bare minimum, and looses interest anyway if i try to explain a concept that is too advanced for her. she knows where a baby comes out, but doesn't really understand how, just that it happens that way. she doesn't understand how baby's get IN there either! we told her mummy and daddy had to mix ingredients together to make the baby- like cooking, an analogy she understands- and the baby comes a while later. she may think all baby making is done in the kitchen though:)

mzblondex - 103 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) if they are asking then i think you should tell them. dont lie. besides whatever you tell them, they will tell their friends. you dont want them finding out you lied to them like that. but hey if their your kids, raise them how you wanna raise them. i just dont think lieing is the best way. if anything you could just say something like...well sweety we'll talk about that when you get a little older. lol. ya know?

xidja - 103 days ago Rating: 4 (2 votes) I think it somewhat depends on if they are curious about it. If they are asking a lot of questions theres no harm in telling them honest answers. But, if they aren't asking questions about where the baby will come out then I don't see a point in giving them that much information. I think its really hard for a child that age to understand even if you do tell them the truth, afterall its hard for me to understand thats where they really come out!

Tierra - 104 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) my 4 year old told me that the way babies come out is the dr puts a zipper on mommies tummy.... lol and i didnt even have a c section..... just thought it was cute.....

KarenVG - 104 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) only of they ask and then just matter of factly say there is special hole they come out of in the mommies vagina (or whatever word you use in your home) I have a six year old daughter who asked me once and as long as you make no big deal it will just be taken as that. She has never asked again neither seemed fazed by it.
